Climbed with Barb and Janey. We started late (about 10 AM) but had ideal weather conditions for a quick summit.

I've climbed this at least three times, and always keep it in my backup plans when I need an easy outing. This mountain is one of my favorites, in spite of being very accessible to tourists and casual visitors. Once you reach the summit you can often have the peak to yourself!

After returning to the car and going back to town, I finished the day by joining three of my friends to go to the Rockies baseball game that night.

Decided to hike this after Grays and Torreys since it was such an outstanding day regarding weather. Was hoping to nab Grizzly too to complete a 4-bagger but the thought of a very overdue late lunch drew me back down to the car.

Janey Butterworth and I enjoyed a beautiful break from the gloomy weather that gripped the metro area over the holiday weekend. The scenery on this climb was spectacular, and we had a perfect weather day. Cloud formations were dramatic, and the terrain was the greenest I have ever seen this late in the season in Colorado.

Rush and I got in a last climb before leaving for our Denali trip. High winds, blowing snow and low to zero vis was the name of the game on the upper half of the route.

Axe and I made a quick trip from Loveland pass. We had moderate temps but high wind.

Rkymtn and I had an enjoyable outing on what was a easy climb in all aspects but the wind. The surrounding view is great.

This hike was part of my belated 30th birthday celebration trip. I skied at A Basin on Friday, then hiked Sniktau on Saturday. I ate my only birthday cake this year, a Hostess cupcake, on the summit in the freezing wind. I would have liked to have gotten Grizzly as well, but that will have to wait for another trip....I had ski traffic to beat down to Denver!

I can't believe the weather we had today. Bluebird skies, just amazing. Granted, it was plenty cold and, of course, insanely breezy en route to Sniktau. But, all in all, the weather was fabulous. Hiking partner: Jill.
